    Dipped the bumper today. Should've done it a long time ago.

    Result. It's in direct sunlight, and appears much darker in person. Yes, she is dirty...

    Clean them with rubbing alcohol, or even degreaser. I used degreaser first, then rubbing alcohol with q-tips to get the edges of the emblems as clean as possible.

    Dip them. If you don't like them then pull them off. I used a normal cleaner (simple green) and then rubbing alcohol with q tips. My build has a step by step. Super easy and quick

    Do it. The pictures don't do it justice. I took everything off of it first (less taping) and ended up using almost two cans.

    How well does Plasti Dip work with touch up? I derped my cup holders because it wall all ripped up and I noticed a small chunk missing on the corner. I don't really want to pop it out again and throw another coat on if I could just do a quickie touch up.

    I did 4. First one light, then three heavy. And I would take it apart again. Really straightforward and you get a more uniform finish. You have 2 screws for the lights, 2 for the license plate, and 2 bolts and 2 clips for the plastic hitch cover thing. My build thread has more pictures of it. GL!

    I like it. I recommend looking at the taillights too. They make a huge difference.
